Modern Masters 2015, officially styled as Modern Masters (2015 Edition), is the second set in the Modern Masters series. It is a booster-based compilation set containing cards legal in, and intended for, the Modern format. It was released on May 22, 2015.[2][3]
Set details
| “ | Draft Like a Master | ” |
Modern Masters 2015 is a 249 card set consisting of reprints of cards originally printed between Eighth Edition and New Phyrexia. Modern Masters 2015 is exclusively booster-based, thus no satellite products such as preconstructed theme decks are branded with the set. Each booster contains 15 playable cards: 10 commons, 3 uncommons, one rare or mythic rare, and one foil card of any rarity replacing the basic land which would normally be found in a booster as Modern Masters 2015 does not contain a run of basic lands. Due to the higher expected average value of the cards contained in a booster and the lower print run, the MSRP of one booster of Modern Masters was set to $9.99 ($3 higher than the first Modern Masters set). Due to the higher MSRP booster displays only contain 24 packs, which is also the number required for a regular draft (three boosters for each of eight players), as the set was designed specifically for draft. As an experiment, the packaging for English language boosters was made of recyclable paperboard.[4] This gave cause for concern about the possibility of resealing the packages with other content and also about printing and collation issues.[5][6] The packaging material features the word Magic, without : The Gathering, a first in Magic history. The 16-card boosters (the sixteenth card is a marketing card) feature artwork from Noble Hierarch, Karn Liberated and Vendilion Clique.[7] A number of cards changed rarity from their original printing to create a better drafting environment[8] or because mythic rare wasn't introduced until the Alara block. Some cards receive new artwork.[9]
The set was printed in English, Japanese and Chinese Simplified.

Modern Masters 2015 released on Magic Online on May 29, 2015. It was not available for redemption.[10]
Themes and mechanics
Some mechanics were dictated by cards that were wanted for constructed reasons. Other mechanics were chosen because they were synergistic with those mechanics and each other. As the two new blocks entering were Zendikar and Scars of Mirrodin blocks, R&D leaned slightly on choosing themes from those two blocks.[11] During the coverage of GP Utrecht (Modern Masters Weekend) the following limited archetypes were presented on one of the official Twitch channels:
: Metalcraft/Affinity (Ethercaste Knight, Glassdust Hulk)
: Proliferate[12] (Tezzeret's Gambit, Spread the Sickness)
: Bloodthirst aggro (Ashenmoor Gouger)
: Domain ramp (Rampant Growth)- : Convoke tokens (Selesnya Guildmage, Sigil Blessing)
- : Spiritcraft/Soulshift)[13] (Restless Apparition)
- : Elementals (Shrewd Hatchling)
- : Sacrifice/tokens (Drooling Groodion, Necrogenesis)
- : Double strike/Equipment (Boros Swiftblade, Hearthfire Hobgoblin)
- : Graft (Plaxcaster Frogling)
